maybe that's the strategy. Make everyone unrecognizable and your daily roster is whoever you want it to be. No need to send anyone down to the minors, just make sure they fit in the same uniform. Now you have a 18 man bullpen.
Because he has fewer than three years of MLB service time, he cannot refuse the assignment to the minors, and would just become a AAA guy without 40-man status.
With that said, his player profile (age), etc. bodes well for the club selling his contract to an Asian league if that is what Fitzgerald wants- it would be his best bet for a competitive salary now that he has been outrighted.
FanGraphs’ Effectively Wild podcast did a tidbit last week in Ep. 2421 about these doppelgängers. Even coaches were mixing them up, so you’re not alone!
On Monday I posted a alert that I posted James Outman's photo instead of Ryan Fitzgerald on the previous Friday and called out the sub for not calling me out. The only problem? Neither of those men were Ryan Fitzgerald!
What are you thanking him for? He’s never gonna see this & he didn’t contribute in any meaningful way to the team. He’s barely a blip on the radar. You’re thanking a guy who’s just kicking a can down the road.
holy shit its sheev palpatine from star wars
And now young SP, you will die 🫳🏼⚡️
Sick!
In all fairness, I don’t know what anybody on the roster looks like anymore.
This was close enough for me not to question it.

If he had used Buck’s picture I’d have thought about it for a second ngl
I had strategery with my post
They’re just both such beautiful handsome boys. Easy mistake.
Twin brothers of different mothers.
Probably wish they weren't Twins though
lol I noticed I just didn't want to be a jackass. They do look shockingly alike, however.
Mods, send this man to the moon for defrauding us.
Okay cool
I knew
I’m to remember every man I’ve seen
fall into a plate of spaghettiplay outfield for the Twins?!?He also was DFAd I thought, so not necessarily leaving the Twins system.
DFA or Release was the announcement

Lmao, what movie is this, I know I've seen it.
Major League
Who?
Next Friday:
On Monday I posted a alert that I posted James Outman's photo instead of Ryan Fitzgerald on the previous Friday and called out the sub for not calling me out. The only problem? Neither of those men were Ryan Fitzgerald!
Nobody cares about either one.
Cut 'em both. There's AA guy we can pay less somewhere I'm sure.
They look so similar, people that know Fitzgerald personally probably thought, yeah, that's a photo of him.
I believe you. I’ll always believe you
Sorry but I’m officially checked out on the Twins due to last year’s fire sale.
Ohhh no, you can't fool me, it's Outmans all the way down...
?
That’s not actually Ryan Fitzgerald, that’s his identical twin, Bryan Fitzgerald.

bruh
Bruh
maybe he was hoping he'd sleep with them?
